Mafia bees

[rast]

 Seeing as how they are Italians, I have one hive here that must belong to the Mafia. This hive would rather rob and steal than go out and forage. The other two hives here are are bringing in pollen every third bee it looks like. This hive is making a beeline for the open doors on my barn. My barn is full of bees from the Cosa Nostra hive trying to get into hive body's that have empty comb in them. They cleaned them out back in Sept. I don't mind the bees in here (yes, I have a computer in my barn), just now they will get this mind set and go try to pick on the other two hives. I have very small entrances on the other two because of this hive.
This is also the hive that I wish I could raise queens from due to it's stable strength and low mite count.
Well, back to work reinstalling the refer in my MH.

If they are getting into empty boxes, that's good foraging behavior.  If they are robbing hives with bees in them, that's robbing behavior.
